The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making parl: of the same.

.To-all whom it lmay concern.-

Be it'known that I, LEE CHURCHILL, ofthe city of lroy, in the county of Rensselaer and State oi' New York, have invented a new and improved Iaper-Box for Packing Paper-Collars; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andpex'act description of the same, reference being hereby had to the accompanying drawinfbr which forms and makes a part of this specilieation.

Like letters represent and refer to like andrcorrespending parts. i

Figure 2 shows the paper form shown at lig. 1 folded in the required manner to form the'box; and

Figure shows the box completed and readyfor use.

Ihe nature of my invention consists in making and forming a paper-collarbox out of one sheet or .piece of paper cut and shaped substantially as hereinafter described, and s0 censtructed that, whenvfoldejd and pasted together, it will forni a box having a cover or lid thereto. all being formed from one sheet'or piece of card-board, substantiallyin the manner and bythe means hereinafter described and specified.`

To enable others skilled in theart to which my invention relates to make and use the same, I will here proceed to describe the construction and operation thereof, which is as follows, to Wit:

At iig. lis shown the papel' or card-board, which is cut int-o therequired shape and size by any inachinery deemed best to use.

In fig. 1 Lrepresents that part of the card or paper which forms the bottoni of the box.

The sides and ends are formed by the portions marked B I and C C, and the top or covcrhy the piece marked D, having wings, EE, and front-piece F, which, when the box is completed, project down over pieces a a a a, lig. l, are on the inside of the box, as`

shown at lig. 2, and being pasted or glued to the sides c aid in strengthening the box.

"Ihe manner oi' folding and forming the box will readily suggest itself to any person versed. in the business, and it is fully explained in fig.' 2 of ,the drawing accompanying this specification.

The lid or cover is formed by folding the wings or pieces a a', iig. 1, on Athe inside, and pasting or glueing them tothe wings-'E E.. Y I j By the means just ydescribed I aiu enabled to construct-a paper or card-board box entirely of one piece of paper, cut into therequired shape and size by man .ehinery or otherwise, whereby :L -much better and stronger boxcan be made at less expense than any now in use. Haring thus-described the na'tnre and object of my `invention, jy v What-I claii'n as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of theUnited States, is-
